Joe is a thirty-year veteran in the information technology field, with the last twenty-three-plus years at Cisco in various systems engineering and solutions architect roles. Time spent as an electronic commerce consultant, a network engineer at a major medical facility and Fortune 5 manufacturing conglomerate, and over two decades in technology technical sales, has exposed him to countless facets of the industry. Being able to witness and partake in the rise of the hypervisor, followed by public cloud, coupled with a deep understanding of Cisco’s game-changing data center architectures and solutions, allows him to assist customers and partners with complex business and technical challenges. Coupling hardware solutions with value-added software offerings, both Cisco and third-party, is at the core of his approach to solving those challenges. As his passion for business matches his passion for technology, he is pursuing his MBA with a concentration in Business Analytics, intertwining professional and classroom experience as he progresses down both paths. Joe holds numerous Cisco and non-Cisco technical and business certifications, and is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma.
